Shooting at Buffalo Gap.

Buffalo Gap WAS the scene Of another
shooting scrape on Friday, the 22nd
inst, in which Justice Ford narrowly
escaped death at the hands of A. W.
Riordon, of that place. The circum.
stances, as reported, are briefly as fol-
lows:
During the afternoon Of the day of
the shooting, Riordan, having imbibed
sufficient quantity of Gap bug juice to
make him boistar0us, ventured to fire
off a pistol from the back door of "A
saloon, contrary to the provisions of a
city ordinance, which resulted in his
arrest, Ford assisting in this part of the
play. Riordan, after being relieved OF
his revolver, was taken to Jail, by Ford
and others, but before the party had re-
tired from the Jail Riordan, who had
another pistol about his person, sudden
ly drew it, and shot at Ford, the ball
grazing his cheek and ear. 1t is said
that the shot might have had q fatal
result if one of the party had not
grabbed Riordan's arm, thus changing
the range of the weapon before its dis
charge. Riordan was placed under
bonds in the sum of $3.50 for his appear
ance before Justice Davis court at Point
of Rocks on Tuesday, August 2nd

Destructive Hail Storm.

On Tuesday afternoon of this week
:. Rapid City was the scene of hail
storm, which In point Of violence and
destructive tendencies, is unprecedented
In the history of the Black Hills region
The hail, which ranged in size from a
half inch in diameter to the size of a
mans fist, Was accompanied by furi-
Gus gale, and resnlted in the almost
total annihilation of all the glass facing
north and west in the buildings of that
city. Ten thousand dollars is said To
! be a moderate estimate of the damage
incurred in the city alone, TO say nothing
of the vast loss to farmers in that
vicinity, upon which it would be difficult
To reach a correct estimate. by reason of
its extent being at this writing un-
know. The storm is said 10 have ex-
tended down the valley for a distance
of six miles in the very heart Of the
agricultural district, and as no part of
the grain had been harvested, the loss
in this direction must have been almost
incalculable. The duration of the
storm was brief in ten minutes from
the time Of its commencement, the sun
was shining brightly upon the scene of
destruction the storm had wrought. IT
is estimated that it will require two car
loads, in addition TO the amount of glass
on hand TO replace the broken lights in
the city. The Hotel Harvey is said to
have been the worst sufferer, losing, as
reported, 1872 lights The First National
bank sustained loss of all the glass in
its thirty windows. The railroad build
incs were also badly ridded, 1914 lights
of glass being demolished in the round
house alone. Private residences also
shared in the damage, which in addi-
tion to the loss of glass, carperts, furni-
ture, and various bric a brac were seri-
ously damaged by being exposed to the
fury of the storm.
The total damage resulting from the
storm when fully determined will reach
far into the thousands, and in Rapid
City alone, when fairly estimated, will
aggregate far more than at first sup
posed but with her characteristic force
and relentless push and enterprise, it
will be re-adjusted and forgotten before
the wane of the present moon.

Fall River County's Delinquency.

! Having repeatedly, through the col
mns OF this paper, vainly called the at
tention of the board of county COM
missioners TO the importance Of making
an effort toward the collection of the
amount due Custer from Fall River
county on account Of court expenses
incurred while attached to this county
for Judicial purposes, We finally con
Guided TO ascertain whether it was their
| intention to make move in the matter
at some indefinite period in the future,
or relegate it to the silent realms of
innocuous desuetude and after patient
inquiry. and protracted research, are
| now prepared, and it is needless TO say
gratifed, TO inform our readers that the
matter will receive early attention.
The amount Of Fall Rivers delin-
quency must be nearly, if not quite
5000. as we are informed that up to this
juncture that county has not paid
dollar of the expense incurred in hold
ing court in Custer county. BY order
OF the court, the clerk Of the district
court of Custer county has made appli-
cation to the commissioners of Fall
River county for a certified statement Of
their assessed valuation upon which
that county's proportion Of the court
expenses is legally based, which appli-
cation, along with two others subse-
quently sent, has been wholly disre-
garded by that august body, and the
clerk of the court now finds himself in
a situation similar TO Mark Twain when
he asked the Egyptian mummy his age
which question TO this day, the mummy
has persistently held in silent contempt.
Unlike the question of the amount of
Fall River county's Indebtedness TO this
county on account of her liability for
her just share Of the county debt at the
time of segregation, this matter of the
collection Of her pro rata of the court
expenses does not involve law suit,
and should haye been collected years
ago.
While we regard the action of the
commissioners Of Fall River county in
dsregarding the order Of the court in
the matter of furnishing the required
statements as being highly diScreditable,
it is also glaringly apparent that Custer
county officials may be justly deemed
reprehensble for gross negligence in
failing to promptly report such action
to the presiding Judge.

B. q M. Survey.

A party of b. & NJ. surveyors camped
at Hot Springs, Thursday and Friday OF
last week They found the route up
Fall River all that could be desired for
a line of road The grade is easy and
work would be light. From here TO
Custer City there will be no trouble as
the grades are easy, there being valley
nearly the entire distance: We feel
confident from present developments
that the h. & NJ will make Hot Springs
and Custer points on their line to and
through the Black Hills. That nearly
one half the travel TO the Black Hills
this summer comes TO the Hot Springs
is a fact. That if railroad was built
here. the travel would increase ten fold
the first year. is a'so fact. That on the
completion ofa road here, immense guam
titles Of mineral water would be ship
ped is certain. In this immediate vicin-
ity is found the finest marble and jasper,
which would in short time be trans
ported to the outside world, and build
up here valuable enterprise. There
is enough fine building stone here to
supply all the cities in the west. Gyp.
sum in inexhaustable quantities abound
on all sides. Here is the nearest point
also to the pine timber OF the Black
Hills. AS an agricultural and stock
growing country, Fall River has no
superior We know the b. d NJ, Off
cials are cognizant Of these facts and
from indications at the present writing,
they intend to act on this knowledge
and build their line Of road to and

Indicted Sure Enough.

As result of our being mlsled by a
statement appearing in the Rapid Re-
publican, we enormously claimed in our
issue Of last week that the reported in
dictment of the Times Pioneer and
Tom White was without foundation
1t has since transpired that the reported
indictments, strange and improbable as
it may appear, were well founded. We
cannot, however, regard this action
upon the part of the Big Bend company
as anything but mere bluff, conceived
and consummated in the interest of
furthering the sale Of the stock of that
chimerical institution in the far east
among a class Of gilded gudgeons, whose
anxiety to gobble the triple plated
bait might thereby be increased as il
is far from being reasonable supposi-
ton, that this peculiar syndicate would
STAY with proposition, which no one
knows better than they do, could only
culminate in the complete exposition OF
their novel non-operative mining
schemes. For any other than the pur-
pose referred to- We do not regard these
indictments as being worth the paper
upon which they are written.

Cattle Losses.

MesSrs. Milton FreaSe and Maurice
keliher returned late on Saturday night
from their two weeks tri p to the north
ern cattle ranges. In conversation with
a reporter yesterday Mr.. Frease said
that the reports Of the losses Of last
winter had not been exaggerated in the
least. Cattle died on the range by
thousands. Many starved to death.
more froze to death, and some died
from being caught in barhed wire
fences. The E6 outfit went into the
winter with $4,000 head Of cattle on the
range and came out with only 1900
The Hash Knife was also heavy loser
The Buckeye Cattle company, and
Maurice Keliher, whose cattle ranged
together, came ont Of the winter with
lighter losses than any of the others.
1t is impossible, Mr.. Frease says, TO
convey anything like an understanding
ofthe devastation wrought. The storms
were reported by those who witnessed
them AZ being by far the most severe
that were ever experienced in the
northwest by white men. Their range
was also wide. From the northern
slope of the Black Hills far into British
America, and from Minnesota TO Cen
trail Montana, the snow lay for weeks
covering the ground to depth Of from
two to five feet. The cold was intense.
1t was during this time that cattle
suffered the most Unable to find any
thing to eat, and with no shelter what
ever the poor beasts drifted about at
| the mercy Of the elements, until us their
little strength failed they laid down by
ones and twos and in punches and died.
The wonder is that any survived. Those
that lived the winter through were
hardy animals, but all show marks of
the terrible struggle. 1t is useless to at
tempt TO particulariZe in the matter OF
| the losses. Not an outfit whose cattle
ranged from the Belle Fourche north
escaped. All were heavy losers, and
some of the companies, particularly
those in Eastern Montana, suffered al
most total loss. The average loss on all
will reach a figure between eighty-tive
and ninety per cent.
Many Of the cattlemen are disheart-
ened The E6 has made arrangements
to sell out to the Hash Knife outfit and
quit the business. The Hash Knife,
which has about 5000 head left out of
almost 10000 when the winter com
menced, will move its cattle as far south
as possible. The Buckeye Company
and Maurice Kelihcr have started their
cattle south, and expect them on the
, range on Box Elder, about twenty miles
from this city, during the week. They
have about 100 head left. The winter
just passed through will be a memorable
one among the cattle men, and while
its experiences may serve to turn many
q tale around the roundup camp fire, il
is not probable they will be reverted to
by the cattle owners with very pleasan,
recollections.-Rapid Journal, 26.
